Hugs. Just take it one day at a time

From looking at your stats, you have come a long way already and a blip isn't going to hurt anything.

You are right. Just move on and get on track.

In weight loss, as in the rest of life, we often sabotage ourselves in various ways.

Stuff happens. Just keep going.

Hugs!

I know what you mean..I actually got down to about 185 before..and just. Depression kinda took over. Laziness too. I just didn't want to do anything and I didn't care anymore..

As time went by though I'd just see myself in the mirror and sigh and I went to weigh myself..just to see how much I gained after I stopped. And it was all back. All that hard work was gone. And it was the most horrible feeling. It made me not want to work out EVEN MORE.

But I talked myself out of it, I looked around fit blogs to get motivation again. Talked to friends and made plans. And it got me going again.

I'm 195 now..and I regret ever stopping that day. Just think where I would be if I didn't stop at 185. But. You just got to get over it. Take the one day at a time thing to heart. Talk yourself into starting again the next morning. Becos you don't want to climb this hill a 2nd time like I and probably a few others have to. )':

Food didn't cause those problems and it's not going to fix them! Think about an alcoholic, they'd use those same things as a reason to drink. Or someone who has compulsive tendencies, they'd use those as a reason to clean their entire house with q-tips.

Then imagine people who meditate, or run, or do yoga or garden to help soothe themselves. Pretend you are one of those people. Act "as if" you turn to knitting or drawing or sewing in times of stress instead of food.

I am there with you today. And stuck at home due to a snow storm. Thankfully my house is free of snacks and crackers and cheese so I just petulantly open a cabinet, glare at the cans of beans and dried grains, and shut it again, knowing that what I'm looking for isn't in there anyway.
